Wei had five capitals, and in addition to Luoyang, there were four capitals: Chang'an, Xuxian, Qiaojun and Yecheng. The first Northern Expedition of Shu Han, Chang'an was lost; Li Yan and Wei Ba took Nanyang, Lu Xun took Kunyang, and Xu County was lost. Now that Lu Xunbing is stationed in the county, it seems that he can't hold it. If Pengcheng and Suiyang are in danger again, then Luoyang is only afraid that it will also be dangerous, and only Yecheng will be left north of the Yellow River.

Qiaojun has no important significance geographically, only symbolic meaning, so Zhang He decided to let Xiahouba come to the aid and temporarily abandon Qiaojun. In his opinion, Pengcheng is far more important than Qiaojun, and only by holding Pengcheng can it be possible to defend Qiaojun, and if Pengcheng is lost, Qiaojun will undoubtedly be lost.

He looked at the problem from the perspective of a soldier, and did not want to lose the opportunity to zuihou because of those political scruples.

In the face of Zhang Xiong's reminder, Zhang He did not hesitate much, he gave an order to Xiahou Ba as a chariot general, and strictly ordered him to move closer to Pengcheng immediately. Strictly speaking, he is overstepping his authority, because he is not the supreme general on this battlefield, Sima Yi is.

But Sima Yi is now cowering in Suiyang and not moving, so Zhang He took the initiative to pick up this heavy burden.

"Pass my orders, if Bixia is guilty, I will be fully responsible."

"Whoa." Seeing that his father had already made up his mind, Zhang Xiong no longer hesitated and turned around to draft a military order.

Tian Fu was also about to write a letter to his father Tian Yu, Zhang He thought about it and wrote a letter in person, asking Tian Fu to go to Lu County and meet Tian Yu in person.

Tian Fu took the order and left.

……

The messenger of the Wei army rushed in the direction of Qian County, and Tian Fu rushed to Lu County with his own personal guard battalion, and these news naturally could not escape Wei Ba's eyes. Hunting and interception is very difficult to do. Wei Ba couldn't inquire about what news Zhang He wanted to deliver, but this did not prevent him from speculating and deducing Zhang He's intentions.

With the war imminent, the atmosphere in the barracks suddenly became tense, and the Chinese army's tent was brightly lit day and night, and the generals and strategists gathered around the map, expressing their views, conducting tactical deductions, and arguing with each other.

Gu Cheng, Yu Yan and others are also among them. Now there is Deng Ai again. Deng Ai stuttered a little. In terms of words, it is not what he is good at, and in terms of appearance, he is not very conspicuous. Looks like a rough old peasant. Wei Ba also did not indicate the relationship between them. So Gu Cheng and the others didn't take him very seriously.

When the tactics were deduced to Zuihou, everyone couldn't think of Zhang He's mastery. If there is any danger, it can only be said that Wang Ling and Tian Yu come to help. It will have some impact on the strength of both sides. As for Xiahouba, he is here, and Lu Xun will also come, and there is no obvious change in the strength comparison between the two sides.

Wei Ba also couldn't figure out Zhang He's intentions.

Yu Zuihou reminded: "We can't miss Sima Yi. Sima Yi still has 20,000 people in Suiyang, and under normal circumstances, he has to leave a part of his troops to guard Suiyang, and he will not act rashly. But once the two sides are deadlocked, he may suddenly intervene. Suiyang is 300 miles here, and if the light army is in a hurry, it can be reached in two days. ”

Wei Ba nodded repeatedly. He had an impression of Sima Yi's rapid march. Meng Da almost died at his hands at the beginning. Over the years, Sima Yi has not shown his mountains and water, in addition to his military exploits in Luoyang, he is almost a typical example of a scholar leading troops, and many people don't think much of him. But Wei Ba knew very well that this was a dormant beast, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely show his most hideous face.

Zhang Yi said: "So, Zhang He just wants to create a stalemate, so that our army has no time to take care of other things, and then Sima Yi will decide the victory?" ”

"I don't think it's possible." Feng Jin shook his head and rejected this opinion. "Although Zhang He is a martial artist, he is not a warrior without brains. The relationship between him and Sima Yi has never been very harmonious, and he probably can't be so selfless. ”

Wei Ba has been sitting next to him and listening, he likes to listen to the opinions of his subordinates, which not only helps him to make conclusions, but also allows him to understand the character and quality of his subordinates, and also allows him to know the strengths and weaknesses of each person. No one is omnipotent, and no one is absolutely incompetent, especially since the origin of his subordinates is complex, as his fame and strength grow, more and more families begin to join his camp, and there will inevitably be some conflicts between the old and the new, and the battle of will is also commonplace, if not judged, the more talents, the greater the disaster in fact.

Yuan Shao is a typical example. When he was in Hebei, it was not that there were no talents, but that there were too many talents, so that he formed gangs, and Zuihou was at a loss.

The family is also a human being, and it is a very intelligent and practical person, and in order to gain their allegiance and play their role, the ability of the leader is crucial. As a leader, it is a very important quality to be clear about what is wrong and choose the most reasonable one from a variety of opinions.

Wei Ba had never been a leader in his previous life, but he was very clear about Zhuge Liang's deeds, and in this life, he was both an enemy and a friend with Zhuge Liang, so it was inevitable to study Zhuge Liang's methods. In the contest with Zhuge Liang, his gains are not comparable to reading Zhuge Liang's biography or anthology.

In politics, there are many things that cannot be written at all, but need to be comprehended by heart. In other words, it's very perceptive.

Wei Ba's insistence on meditation and reflection for many years was very helpful to his growth.

Zhang Yi and Gu Cheng both had the experience of opposing the martial arts regime, and from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't like the martial artists, and they didn't have a high opinion of Zhang He. Of course, this evaluation refers to the evaluation of one's moral character, not to the evaluation of one's ability to use soldiers. They believe that Zhang He will not pin his hopes on Sima Yi, and will not use himself as bait to create opportunities for Sima Yi. This point should be relatively objective.

As the only remaining general of Cao Wei's achievements, Zhang He couldn't have no idea about Sima Yi's promotion, so he was willing to be a paving stone for Sima Yi, which was not very reasonable.

"Zhang He won't take the initiative to do this, he definitely wants to win with his own strength." Yu Yan reminded: "However, in terms of the current strength of the two sides, his chance of victory is not great, in other words, whether he wants to or not, this opportunity may have to be left to Sima Yi." In other words, we can't just focus on Pengcheng, but also take Sima Yi in Suiyang into consideration. ”

Everyone was arguing, so they naturally turned their attention to Wei Ba.

Wei Ba had been pondering for a long time. Feeling the gaze of the crowd, he knew that the time had come to test him.

He straightened up and opened his mouth calmly.

"It's normal to fight on the battlefield and use each other's tactics. However, whether Zuihou can succeed or not depends on whether the other party is successful. If the other party is cautious, no matter how much Haode is in vain. Wei Ba's eyes swept away: "Actually, what you just said are two questions. The first question is how Zhang He intends to defeat us, which depends on what liliang he can mobilize and what arrangements he may make. The second question is, what is Sima Yi thinking, is it just to prevent our army from cutting off his back road? If Meng Da and the others want to send troops, the movement will not be small, and he has time to return to defense. ”

"Does the general mean that Sima Yi is waiting for an opportunity?"

"I think it should be that he is not only waiting for us to show his flaws, he may also be waiting for Zhang He to show his flaws." Wei Ba smiled: "For now, the only one in Cao Wei's army who can compete with Sima Yi is probably Zhang He." The two of them sent troops to Yanzhou, one in Pengcheng and the other in Suiyang, and there was almost no cooperation, which has already shown that there is no tacit understanding between them, and if they want to cooperate, they just want to treat each other as chess pieces. ”

Yu Yan and others feel the same way. Whether on the battlefield or in court, the enemy never only refers to the people of the enemy country, but more often refers to the people of the same camp.

"Zhang He is a martial artist, and a few of us martial artists are going to figure out his tactics." Wei Ba smiled: "Shihong, Sima Yi is a family, and you are also children of a family, there are commonalities in your thinking, and I will leave it to you if you figure out Sima Yi's thoughts." They fight openly and secretly, and we learn from each other's strengths, so how can we be invincible? ”

Yu Yan smiled and bowed down to receive the order.

……

Lu County, Tian Yu finished reading Zhang He's handwritten letter, and pondered for a long time, his eyes flickering.

Tian Fu looked at Tian Yu nervously, and he didn't even dare to come out. He was not afraid of his father, but afraid that his father would refuse Zhang He's arrangement.

After a while, Tian Yu put down the letter paper, looked at the slight sweat on Tian Fu's forehead, and his expression relaxed. "Jin Jiang, you've been following General Zhang for four or five years, right?"

Tian Fu nodded: "In the third year of Taihe, he fought with Zhuge Liang in Longyou, and he has been fighting for more than six years. ”

"Six years should be able to get you to know someone." Tian Yu said slowly: "Do you think it is appropriate for General Zhang to do this?" ”

Tian Fu hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily: "Suitable." ”

Tian Yu sighed: "Jinjiang, you make me very proud, and you make me very disappointed. ”

Tian Fu smiled and did not refute.

"Go ahead, report back to General Zhang, and I will send troops according to his request."

"Thank you, father." Tian Fu was overjoyed and got up to leave. Tian Yu waved his hand: "Wait, our father and son haven't been drinking together for a long time." Today, I'm having a drink with you. ”

Tian Fu raised his eyebrows, and then sat back down.

Tian Yu asked people to prepare a table of wine, and the dishes were very rich, which was by no means something that could be found in the army, and it was so rich that Tian Fu was a little surprised. But Tian Fu didn't ask much, he shook off his cheeks, had a full meal, zuihou respectfully toasted Tian Yu three glasses of wine, lay on the ground and kowtowed to Tian Yu three times, daxiao out of the camp.

Tian Yu sighed softly, looked at the wine in the glass, and was silent.

Outside the camp, Tian Fu galloped away with his personal guards, the heroic singing came from afar, and the smoke and dust kicked by the horse's hooves were like dragons, and it gradually dissipated after a long time. The sheep's hair covered his mouth and nose, and he looked at the figure that had disappeared in the distance, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"What song is this?" Yang asked a Wei lieutenant next to him, "It sounds generous and majestic, but it's a little sad." ”

"Jing Ke don't Prince Dan." Du Wei smiled: "The parting song that our Yan people like to sing the most is different from the tune you Qilu sing." ”

"I see, that's a long way to learn." Yang Fa's heart was dark, but a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he stuffed a handful of money into the captain's hand: "Is the general satisfied with the wine sent today?" ”…… (To be continued......)
